How about when you're in a mx base and you're number 3 in the queue and it takes 2 hours to get a simple deferral for a broken seat back. I can say that no flight of mine has been delayed because the crew wasn't where they were supposed to be.
dont forget the bizarre wheel movement for block out. ready to push.....and thennnnnnnnnn now we are late! or the new ramp metering crap in CLT. these sort of decisions are a self inflicted shot gun wound...can't be fixed.
psa should do a study, since i am sure they can have the acars send a message, and measure our on time perf. with break released then compare the two

Once management becomes serious about on-time performance, they will provide the resources necessary for us to achieve on-time performance. The crews aren’t the problem.

And really seriously what the heck is the difference between push 10/hold and door closed beacon parking brake on other than you can't push 10/hold on certain gates...

Truer words have rarely been spoken on this forum about PSA operations.

Maybe the new VP-level administrator will figure this out...

No kidding lol that's not what I mean.

There is literally no difference if you are able to push 10/hold and door/beacon/brake.

But yes, money, never going to happen...

Exactly... this is the same as not putting covers on your TPS report.

If they cared so much they’d change the system. And I don’t discredit the fact that they care, they just don’t care enough to pay everyone properly from door close / brake release...

Did anyone else see the thing posted about the fuel czar that Envoy's MEC put out ?

Anyway in the comments on FB pilot page it seems as though AA wholly owned are beat over the head with flying econ speed, SET, etc etc while comments from the contract carriers are saying they are encouraged to take as much fuel as they can and fly as fast as possible.

So, yea... Like we all already knew they don't really care that we are on time as much as they say they do.

Just another tool in the whip saw tool box... I mean how do we deserve raises when we are always late while our "competition" isn't... 🤔
